Description

Require further maintenance or repair.
Issues - Three or four key pegs get stuck sometimes; when you push them, they don't revert back to standard positions.
Limited Testing. I am not an accordion player, but I pressed the keys and expand & contract the bellows and this unit makes sounds. Several key pegs will get stuck when pushed. Some repair done on the wood surface (top corners). Did not see any tears or breakage on the cloth and wood. Some metal blemishes or discoloration on the metal guards. Fine scratches and small dents on wood. No diamond highlight on bellows.
